TCG Rulings

• The effect to halve a monster’s ATK targets that monster.

• If you control the target of Granel’s effect when it resolves, the monster’s ATK is not halved. If you take control of the target after its ATK is halved, it remains halved until the End Phase.

• If you halve the ATK of a monster whose ATK was already halved by Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind, its ATK will become ¼ of the original ATK.

• After Granel’s effect is no longer applied, the ATK returns to the original ATK of the monster.

• If a monster’s ATK is being modified by Field/Equip/Continuous Spells and is halved by Granel, it will become half of its current value. When Granel’s effect ends, it will return to the full value including all modifications from Field/Equip/Continuous Spells.

• If Skill Drain is activated after Granel’s effect resolves, the monster’s ATK that was halved will remain halved until the End Phase.

OCG Rulings

• Suppose the ATK of an opponent's monster is halved by the effect of "Meklord Army of Granel". Since the effect of "Meklord Army of Granel" has already been applied, even if "Skill Drain" is activated, and the effect of "Meklord Army of Granel" is negated, the ATK of the opponent's monster remains halved until the end of this turn. Note that while Skill Drain is applying, since the effect "This card gains 100 ATK for each "Meklord" monster on the field, except this card." of "Meklord Army of Granel" is negated, its own ATK returns to its original value (1600).
